Regarding the Question "What is the first thing Allah (swt) created?" You said water. I was told it was Nab i yah Karim's (Rasullalah Salalahu Alai hai wasalum) soul that was created first.

Question

If wrong please explain. Jazakallah Khair.

Answer

Imraan ibn Husain (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was asked, 'How did this world commence?' Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied, 'Allah was on His throne above the water (nothing between the throne and water) and from water he created every living object.' (Mishkaat vol.2)

The Hadith referred to by you means, among the first things created, one was the Rooh (soul) of our beloved Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).

And Allah Taãla Knows Best.

Was salaam
